In the classic world of yachting, lone wolves don’t just fit in—they lead the way to authenticity. The figure of the "lone wolf" has been admired—and for the faint-hearted, feared—in various contexts throughout history, but in the world of yachting, this metaphor takes on a very special meaning. Those sailors who dare to challenge established norms don’t just find their place; they become role models for a genuine and free lifestyle, far from conformity. I admire these people without reservation. Always fascinating. To me, they are a source of wisdom, whether you agree with them or not, whether you dare to do the same or not. They are a great source of knowledge and inspiration that I constantly return to.
One of the greatest examples of this kind of navigation is Bernard Moitessier, a man who embodied the spirit of independence and authenticity on the sea. Moitessier was not only an exceptional sailor but also a philosopher of the sea, who, during his participation in the 1968 Golden Globe Race around the world, chose to abandon the competition and continue his journey without a fixed destination, following his own rhythm and personal ideals. Moitessier did not see sailing as a competition but as a path to introspection and a connection with nature.
What can we learn from lone wolves like Moitessier? Many things, no doubt. One of them: in a world where everyone seeks to adapt, those who choose to follow their own path, guided by authenticity and independence, don’t just stand out—they make a difference. Moitessier shows us that true freedom isn’t just about avoiding rules, but about sailing toward what really matters, trusting your own internal compass, and not being afraid to go against the current.
In yachting, as in life, being a lone wolf doesn’t mean being alone. It’s about finding the courage to be yourself, following your principles, and like Moitessier, discovering a new way to navigate that transcends common expectations. For those who seek the same authenticity, both on the sea and in life, each day is an opportunity to prove that the only thing that matters is staying true to yourself.
My jewelry is born from that spirit of independence, that authenticity that, by its very nature, places you beyond the conventional, without trying to—it simply happens. Each piece of Angela Lago -myself- reflects that unique journey, that connection with the deepest parts of ourselves.
Here you can see it, and perhaps feel something that connects with you, with that freedom that loves the sea.
